North Indian style fried rice
I remember the first time I ate fried rice in India was in the UK, and the Indian landlord made me a rice called Biryani, mixed with chicken, spices, onions, etc., and its aroma was irresistible. In India, rice is not just a staple food, but can be combined with spices, vegetables, and meat to create different flavors of main dishes. Today’s fried rice is a kind of Pilau Rice. Pilau Rice has many recipes, just like Chinese fried rice has many different recipes, it is more varied and special than Biryani. The biggest difference between it and ordinary risotto, such as risotto, is the order of watering. Pilau Rice is to release water first, then rice, which requires just the right amount of water, which is more difficult, but at the same time, the aroma of the water and the ingredients is fully integrated, and the flavor of the rice is also more sufficient.
